I agree. Just wish they had followed the iPa up with something more interesting than an amber. They went against the typical brewery playbook with the canned iPa and then straight back to it with an amber. I wonder what is next.

On a side note, newest shelton brothers shipment arrived after I left tonight. Can't wait to try Struise Black Albert and a couple of barrel aged Mikkeller collabs.

As far as I know West 6 is still only distributed in KY...I brought these back from the sampler.

Is it not available in the Chicago area?
I got a 6pak of Huma Lupa Lupalicious and it was a bit much for me, I had to eat something with it.
It is definatley flavorful, it hangs in your mouth for a very long time.
I think I'll try their Pandemonium Pale Ale next time I see it, never had it.

I'm drinking a Closure IPA from MI's own Greenbush brewery. This is a very solid IPA, perfect for a warm afternoon. The malt is light bodied but medium portioned (if that makes sense) and the hops are fresh and nuanced. Greenbush is doing a great job in a beautiful location. I hope to make it out there at some point this summer.

Flying Dog Underdog Atlantic lager. I tasted dusted cocoa and cherry notes the first time I had it, which was on a dare, basically, because neither my wife nor I enjoy lagers. I talked to the distiller later and found it was made with about 45% rye and some wheat, along with barley. No wonder I liked it!!! I've never heard of any beer with that much rye, much less an easy drinking lager! They said it was hell and a half to brew, due to the stickiness and filtering issues. Thank goodness they've persevered
